The cheaper fares only come out 12 weeks before the date Ali , just hang on as I reckon they will be around the £40 mark again mate  ;)

£57 return I think we paid last year and but it was late on booking them, was only a few months before June when we booked, normally they do a sale they just did one in 2 weeks ago for spring sale for tickets between March and May so they may do a summer one but unsure of dates.

Just keep an eye out here

We should be covering about 10 miles I reckon, but there will be pub stops and photo stops at various landmarks
Given that there could easily be over 100 people coming we need to try and keep the group together and stop regularly so people can catch up

The GJS probably won't be ready in time, so it will either be the T/A (need to get better pics of it)

but will more than likely be the VDC

I may be sporting my white walls in London Griff! I did mean to post it here, but seeing as Rob kindly set up a spin off thread on white walls, i'll delete it from here to keep the thread clean  :daumenhoch:

So what will you all be riding folks? Skyway T/A (sporting white walls), or VDC Changa for me

Counted up the money from the collection tins and the running total for Macmillan was £412.50

Well done Griff and everyone else involved.  Take some solace in the fact that Dan was doing something he loved whilst also raising  money for a great charity - a gent and a hero
